LGR2E181MELA25

The LGR2E181MELA25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 250 V and 180 µF. It is part of Nichicon’s LGR long‑life series, designed for robust, long‑duration operation with a 105°C temperature rating and 10,000 hours endurance at that temperature.

Designed for general‑purpose applications, this radial can (snap‑in) package provides elevated ripple handling and a compact 25 mm diameter footprint for power assemblies and other electronic systems that require durable, high‑voltage capacitance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 180 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Voltage Rating — Rated for 250 V DC to support higher‑voltage power circuits.
• Long‑life Assurance — Endurance specified for 10,000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias.
• High Temperature Range — Operating temperature range from −40°C to 105°C for elevated ambient applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 900 mA at 120 Hz and 1.35 A at 50 kHz; frequency coefficient data for the 200/250 V group supports increased ripple handling at higher frequencies.
• Mounting & Package — Snap‑in radial can (25 mm diameter) for secure board mounting and mechanical stability in power assemblies.
• Polarized Design — Polarized aluminum electrolytic suitable where correct polarity is maintained in the circuit.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing in systems that require a 250 V, 180 µF snap‑in electrolytic.
• Power Assemblies — Snap‑in radial package simplifies installation in high‑voltage power modules and chassis‑mounted designs.
• Industrial Electronics — Suited to industrial equipment requiring long life at elevated operating temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Extended High‑Temperature Endurance: Specified 10,000 hours at 105°C to support designs requiring prolonged operation at elevated temperature.
• Reliable Ripple Handling: Measured ripple currents of 900 mA (120 Hz) and 1.35 A (50 kHz) enable effective filtering and smoothing in high‑frequency and low‑frequency ripple environments.
• Compact, Secure Snap‑In Mounting: 25 mm diameter radial can with snap‑in terminals provides a stable mechanical connection for power assemblies and simplifies PCB placement.
• Wide Operating Range: −40°C to 105°C specification covers a broad range of environmental conditions for general‑purpose applications.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious design requirements.
